<h1>Writing multiple choice questions</h1>

<p><b><u>Recommendations for writing good multiple choice questions</u></b></p>

<p>Other areas that may prevent any options apart from the rest: a choice can excel at a glance by the length, grammatical structure or the presence of any term to provide incorrect information. The homogeneity can be achieved by all the options are similar (in content or appearance) or all clearly different as they respectively the following two examples:</p>

<ul>
<i>
<p>What kind of animals are gophers?</p>
<ol>- Rodents.</ol>
<ol>- Amphibians.</ol>
<ol>- Reptils.</ol>
</i>
</ul>

<ul>
<i>
<p>What kind of animals are gophers?</p>
<ol>- Rodents animals.</ol>
<ol>- Craft tools.</ol>
<ol>- Songs ethnic.</ol>
</i>
</ul>

<p>Sometimes it's an option differential unduly highlighted as correct or incorrect. The first case occurs in the following item to be the only correct grammatical gender agrees with rule that ends the statement. A useful way to avoid mistakes is to write well in interrogative questions.<p>

<ul>
<i>
<p>The bone that runs from the knee to the ankle is the front side is:</p>
<ol>- Tibia.</ol>
<ol>- Húmerus.</ol>
<ol>- Fibula.</ol>
</i>
</ul>

<p>The following item unduly emphasizes instead the second option as incorrect as the only sound that seems not even the French language for the subject who does not know this character. </p>

<ul>
<i>
<p>Who was a major figure of the French Revolution?</p>
<ol>- Baudelaire.</ol>
<ol>- Washington.</ol>
<ol>- Robespierre.</ol>
</i>
</ul>

<p>In general, when an option is different, it may distract you from the central task of understanding and identifying your item right choice if known.</p>
